Boston Globe June 21, 2016 – For some reason, people tend to gravitate to the term “old-fashioned” when trying to describe Cruz Companies, a construction, development, real estate management, and relocation firm in Roxbury.

Perhaps it is understandable. The company has some age: It is one of the oldest and largest minority-owned companies in the Northeast. And it admittedly prides itself on old-fashioned quality, old-fashioned values, and even an old-fashioned management and corporate structure that includes several members of the extended Cruz family.
